Behind Beyond the Fringe
he has just a lilt enough...
Even here (my last region) ... " even here" ... all of them not being able to afford Tom-Paul owned SW any more..
He..s/he.. they only get on if s/he..
s/he.. to make it sound...au naturelle..
defernce... Britain lead the world at sticking two fingers up to the gentry aristocracy...200 years ago Mary Ann Evans LEAD the attack...
And what do we have...some rich priveaged little snot nose... who has JUST the yokel accent enough to hide the fact... that he doffed his hat to Charles and whatever other toff nose they had at the estate that weekend...
why..'/he gets on the wireless...why s/he can afford their new lands...
oh yes and i have interviews ... one day... you see the 'Dutchy' bought half of Herefordshire over the last 20 or more years...
And one of the few i can trust...could... as she lived near their 'estates'.. would tell me of just how ferkin free and easy with the eviction notices they would be...and as for employee 'rights'....
But the snot nose s/h.. act as if on his money they have created some kind of new nirvana...

Now the 'Paul' of Tom-paul... i knew him well too...
Its always the same... total whitewash of how they got their down south dosh...
And ..using splendid subtle cult playbook lessonry...
they all eventually manage to gather a little herd - of wwooffers or even 'volunteers'...
"community"...
The funny thing is these communities of people being paid way less than minumum wage... which is in theory fine...
communitarianism requires some adjustment but it could be fair trade REAL mutual benefit...
Not only do they never last and the land needs decades at protecting it...saving all the rotting wood - some for the ugs and beats...some to be carefully reused so as not to waste living wood..
but this 'community'... mutuaal aid ...social contract... even
never ever includes the fact that Jake and cam..maybe 5 years down the line will sell their ultra enhanced perfect little smallholdings.. rebuilt on the labour of 'community'... ies of smiley beardies from the cities who know nothing about real conservation (leave it fuckin ALONE!! to rot... and moulder)
And my my i wonder if the 'share' out that enhanced sale price afforded by all their lovely little 'communityu'volunteers...
the enhanced sale price meaning even in truly emotional and intelectual democratic westeland of Powys...
All the Toom-Pauls Camillas and Polly Katrinas...even one who was my hoped for true friend...
just add to the problem...no ordinary people FROM the 'community' can afford even a hedgehog hut on their ...LAND
BUT... my my try EVER mentioning this to the nicely...as i have in old region for 0 years...and fuck they bite as snarly as a rabid hedgehog down your pants...
more than acedia - total dystopia... back BEFORE the enlightenment
Pure feudalism...
dressed up in an expensive new handknitted papoose.. they all have them.. and utra exensive antique gas guzzling vintage land rovers the latest trend...
And of course when their 'local 'community' turns
... because down the housing estate in Hay they have even less channce than ever before of affording a bit of land..
druz blight...joyriding teenagers killing each other (2010ish the worst i think) ... Jake and Cam will..
"oh we tried so so hard to find happiness here but the estates started to encroach and kids made drug dens and...oh Cam... lets sell up, buy a yacht..and go and make a film about how we will bring up Robyn and Harr ... living free out on the ocean waves as we home schoolthem...as all those scabid kids in local schools will only... no we shall not JUDGE...but we don't want our little uns around any of that any more...they may catch their neurodivergence..."
